Fault Diagnosis of a Bogie Gearbox Based on Pied Kingfisher Optimizer-Improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode...

Current methods of detecting bogie gearbox faults mainly depend on manual judgment, which leads to inaccurate fault identification. In this study, a fault diagnosis model is proposed based on a pied kingfisher optimizer-improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (PKO-ICEEMDAN), improved multi-scale weighted permutation entropy (IMWPE), and a starfish optimization algorithm optimizing a least-squares support vector machine (SFOA-LSSVM). Firstly, the acceleration signals of a bogie gearbox under six different working conditions were extracted through experiments. Secondly, the acceleration signals were decomposed by ICEEMDAN optimized by PKO to obtain the intrinsic mode function (IMF). Thirdly, IMFs with rich fault information were selected to reconstruct the signals according to the double screening criteria of both the correlation coefficient and variance contribution rate, and the IMWPE of the reconstructed signals was extracted. Finally, IMWPE as a feature vector was input into LSSVM optimized by the SFOA for fault diagnosis and compared with various models. The results show that the average accuracy of the training data of the proposed model was 99.13%, and the standard deviation was 0.09, while the average accuracy of the testing data was 99.44%, and the standard deviation was 0.12. Thus, the effectiveness of the proposed fault diagnosis model for the bogie gearbox was verified.
